Mitosis serialization

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

currently, Mitosis use Attributes to transfer data to replicas. This is 
OK, but we have to translate Entry to Attributes in order to do that. As 
we want to get rid of JNDI in the server, I'm just wondering if it's not 
the good timing to change the way data are serialized during replication.

A first step would be to use a very simple format, a text one (ldif for 
instance), but encapsulate in a way we don't have to care about the 
transported data. For that, we need an encoder and a decoder, with an 
defined interface, allowing us to switch it if needed.

wdyt ?

Mitosis requires a big effort.  I think we might want to leave it as is for
now until we're ready to whip it into shape.  Up to you but I'd say just
leave it as is until we can get a few people working together to revamp the
whole module.
